No he is not. Lee merely misstyped/stated or whatever his
conversion. As stated by him you are right that what he wrote is
very far off. The number he _actually_ used, is the conversion
from kilometer to mile (there is 0.621 mile in one kilometer). It
is the same to start from mile and multiply by 1.609 or start
from mile and divide by 0.621. Rounding differences
notwithstanding the result is identical.
I thought it only fair to establish that Lee did his maths right
to start with.
